Australian Dairy Industry Council will continue to lobby the Federal Government for improved industry outcomes over the 457 visas following a number of recent changes.

Amendments to the visas came into effect on July 1 with five occupations in the processing sector reinstated to the visa’s occupation list, including food technologists, a position the ADIC said processors had been unable to fill from local candidates.
